Pahia Ammos is located on the site of the ancient city Minoa, which was an old harbor. Here is established the Institute for the Study of Prehistoric Aegean of East Crete, that conducts systematic excavations in the area and deals with the promotion and protection of antiquities. The most famous archaeological site in the region is the Minoan cemetery and the settlement of Gournia, 2km west of the village. Here, skeletons were found in jars and sarcophagi. The city flourished in the 1600BC and was built on a small hill. Gournia are located 2km east of Faneromeni Monastery, one of the most impressive monasteries in Crete.
4km south of the village, you can visit the Minoan settlement Vasiliki which flourished in (PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN) BC. Vasiliki is considered the precursor of the major Minoan palaces and towns. From Vasiliki you can drive 2km to the east, to the village of Monastiraki, with the old watermills and the church of St. Stephen. Nearby is the exit of the imposing gorge of Ha, which causes awe from miles away.
Opposite Pahia Ammos you’ll see the small island Konida (i.e. nit, egg of louse), which can be reached by boat. It is interesting to see how the place name has emerged: a few miles to the east (opposite Tholos) you’ll meet the bigger island of Psira (i.e. louse), while opposite Mochlos you’ll see the islet of Agios Nikolaos, also called Psilos (flea). All insects together!

An authentic renovated Neighbourhood of the 1800's

The Cressa Ghitonia is a very particular hotel whose rooms are small apartments of great charm. The place and the room are extremely romantic and well kept and the common areas are relaxing, simple and elegant. You should not expect an apartment. The kitchen, shown as available is, in reality, the wonderful restaurant. So does the possibility of laundry is part of the services provided by the hotel and, therefore, for a fee (which is extremely honest with costs). That said the place is lovely. Essential to have a car and use the Cressa as a base to explore the east of Crete. Access to the nearest beaches requires a car and at least 15 minutes journey. All the staff are extremely polite. Of great charm and a must try the SPA.

Avital's house is lovely - right by the sea and you get to fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the waves. Mochlos is a lovely little village, very friendly and with great tavernas and I had a wonderful stay there.

Beautiful traditional Cretan home just a few meters from the sea with a terrace beneath the wine leaves, overlooking the beautiful Aegean sea

The house is originally a more than 150 years old traditional cretan house, just a few meters from the sea. It has been fully renovated over the years, so it has all modern facilities, but without losing that traditional feeling. Stone Worked, so naturally cool in the summer, it is a perfect place to relax.

Mochlos is a beautiful small fishing village on the north side of crete, overlooking the Aegean sea. Just 150m away, the is the small island of Mochlos, with a church of St. Nicholas and the (partly under water) ruins of an old minoan town, which you can visit. Surrounded by beautiful hills, it is the ideal spot for a swim, snorkeling around the coast and towards the island, or in short, a relaxing holiday

A very pleasant place to spend hollidays. Typical cretan house, wonderfull sea view, very pleasant communication with Simos and Yannis. Calm and very close to restaurants, it is the idéal place to discover cretan east side

We had a very lovely time in Stavrochorie. The house is well equipped and has a charming character. The communication wir Maria was easy, she made us a warm welcome. The main place of the village is very nice. You can have very good local food there. The beaches in the surrounding are good.

Much space, a very good bed , well equiped with all you need for a few days in the stunning place in the Mountain. And you can feel the personality of Maria in each very nice detail in the Villa. We highly recommand Villa Maria in stavrohori.

Enjoy your holiday in an unspoilt Cretan village, far away from the tourist crowds! The apartment is located in a quiet side street in the upper village area surrounded by olive trees.
The living space is large (68 sqm) and has a small balcony with outdoor furniture. There is a traditional living room with open plan kitchen, a double bedroom with ample storage and a bathroom with shower.

Eastern Crete
Eastern Crete, (east from Aghios Nikolaos) is the most authentic and unspoilt region of Crete since it is not touristically developed. It is the region that people from large Cretan cities (Heraklion, Chania) choose for their own relaxing vacations. Eastern Crete is mostly mountainous and the driving routes are winding and scenic, offering great views over wild mountains and the sea. In fact the whole route from Aghios Nikolaos to Sitia is considered on the best scenic drives in Greece. In this region you will meet writers and music composers who find inspiration in the sea/mountain views and the authentic village people.
An introduction to Mirsini village
Mirsini is a traditional Cretan village, unspoilt by tourism. It was incorporated during the Minoan period in the territory of the major Minoan city of Mochlos. It is located on Crete's northern main route, on the road from Agios Nikolaos to Sitia, 45 km from Agios Nikolaos and 23 km from Sitia at an altitude of 330 meters overlooking the gulf of Mirabello. It is famous for its great views (the village is west facing), its tranquility, the good food, wine and raki and for its hospitable and friendly residents. The village is surrounded by olive groves, fruit plantations, steep mountains and deep ravines.
Restaurants in Mirsini
Kathodon: a beautiful and cosy terrace within walking distance from the house. It serves traditional dishes and offers spectacular sea views. Another great restaurant is located in the neighbouring village of Mouliana, just 5 minutes drive from the house (it is open all year round during lunch and dinner hours).
Shopping
There is a small shop selling basic groceries in the village. For large supermarkets and a large wekkly fruit/vegetable market you will need to drive to Sitia town (30 min by car). If you prefer to avoid shopping we can stock the kitchen for you with all items you may need. The nearest pharmacy is located in the neighbouring village of Tourloti (5 minutes drive).
Hiking
If you prefer running water, lush vegetation and waterfalls, the entrance of Richtis gorge is a 15 minute drive by car, close to the nearby village of Exo Mouliana. The trail winds down the ravine for 4km passing from old bridges and abondoned watermills, through thick vegetation before reaching the sea at Richtis beach.
If you choose to explore the mountains and the amazing views you can start from the nearby village of Lastros and head towards the chapel of Saint John and Kapsas peak or towards Saint Nikitas (5km round trip).
Beaches
The closest beach is in the village of Mochlos approximately 15min by car. The nearest large sandy beach is Tholos, at a distance of 20km towards Aghios Nikolaos. Sitia sandy beach is 23km drive from the house. There are various other great options available. We will provide information about the best beaches in the region.
Sitia town
It is the nearest town (at 23km from the house) with a large sandy beach, supermarkets, a weekly farmer's market and a hospital.
For history and archaeology enthusiasts, Sitia's archeological museum display's exhibits dating back to the Neolithic era in 3,500 BC while the medieval fortress of Kazarma, situated at the top of Sitia is a reminder of the town's medieval past. Furthermore, the folklore museum exhibits items from the past century such as weavings, woodcuts and other everyday life items.
During the evening you can visit one of the numerous small restaurants ("Rakadika") situated along the town's fishing port, which serve delicious variety plates along with Cretan spirit "Raki". And if you are up to it you can continue your night out until the early morning hours in one of the local bars and clubs.

From the moment we booked the Olive tree apartment, the communication with Pantelis started in a very helpful way, with a lot of useful information, which gave us a very comfortable feeling. When we arrived in Mirsini (around midnight) we were welcomed by Nikos, the owner of the apartment. Because of his cordiality we immediately felt at home. Everything we needed (and much, much more) was available.The apartment is even more charming as on the pictures and it is very comfortable for 2 persons. It’s clear that this House was rebuilt with care, with attention to details and meaning to be as comfortable as possible. This sophisticated care resulted also in the high quality of towels, bed linen, pillows and bed, as well as crockery and cutlery, the new, neat (and filled with delights) fridge, the presence of stove with oven, cooker hood, ... etc. Everything was perfect! Mirsini is a very quiet and peaceful village and we certainly recommend the “Kathodon” restaurant - only a few steps from the apartment - with its friendly owner, delicious homemade food dishes and splendid view. We experienced the eastern part of Crete as a fantastic and unforgettable discovery. We have really enjoyed the stunning beauty of nature, the sound of complete silence, the kindness of the people, the tasty food in the cosy restaurants and of course... Nikos’ local own made products. But most of all we were touched by this warm hearted man himself. We definitely recommend this place for people who love the simple and pure things in life.

... absolute charming place in the beautiful village of Mirsini. One of our best holiday experience. Thanks for these great hospitality. Peter + Claudia

Staying one week in the Agrilos olive apartment was an absolute delight! The village of Mirisini is small, authentic, and, altough easy accessible trough the main road, a bit separated from the touristic crowds. The hospitality of Nikos the owner was overwhelming. This has been a great experience. We wouldlove to keep it a secret, but that wouldnt be fair towards the gentle landlord, and the nice people of Mirsini. One of the world's cosiest restaurants just 50 steps away, superb view from the whole village... Plenty of different activities in the vincinity.... We were sad to leave, but happy to know we can go back. For a couple, this apartment is all you need, but look for the Agrilos Sea view apartment when with more, or looking for a lot of space and a clear view over the bay. Styling is nice, comfort on a very good level, with good AC, windows with all the options you need, a shower with a good jet... If looking to explore and relax in the East-Crete region, this is the place to be!

Unit was extremely clean, but not at all what we were expecting from the listing - extremely small, two single beds, very dark with tiny windows and no balcony etc. at the back of the property facing into the wall/hill. We chose to stay somewhere else although the host did offer to move us to another room when we indicated we were not staying.

The apartments are located in a nice area with a beautiful view of the sea. The crystal clear water of Voulisma beach is only few mins walking. If you seek tranquillity, there are smaller beaches at the same distance. There are some restaurants along the road but at only twenty mins by car you can reach Agios Nikolaos with its restaurants and nice beaches. Aliki and her husband are very pleasant person which will help as much as possible to make your vacation perfect.

Anemone Coral 1 is situated over Istron beach,11 km from Agios Nikolaos town on a hill slope, quiet, peaceful and with breathtaking panoramic views of the Mirabello bay and the town of Agios Nikolaos. The Studio offer a living room with kitchenette and a separate bedroom with a queen size double bed. Our apartment can easily accommodate up to 4 quests.

Veronica's cabins are located very close to Voulisma beach around 200 meters away. It makes sense to stay close to the beach because the sunbeds are filling up already by 10:30 or so. We had a peaceful stay and enjoyed the chirping of the cicadas all over Crete at the time. Also it has air conditioning which we didn't realize how important it would be during the hot summer. Many thanks for chance to stay at your place.

We had a very good time with Stefanos and his wife Elena. They were really nice with us and we feel very comfortable during the stay. The apartment is nice, quiet and very clean. The location is a good spot to enjoy the East part of Crete, from Spinalonga to Koufonisi.

I spent few days at Stefanos' studio and I loved it! Everything is new and very well organized, with a personal touch that makes you feel at home right away. Dinners on the terrace were a delight. The location is very convenient, near to beaches (Kalo Horio is stunning!) and surrounded by tavernas and even an excellent pizzeria with an Italian cook. A small market and an ATM is just few steps a way, as well as KTEL bus stop. Thank you again Helena and Stefano, my fiancé and I had the best time!

Stefanos' place is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the beautiful sea view while in the meantime is close to several beaches and Ag.Nikolaos and Ierapetra's nightlife. Stefanos is a friendly host and willing to help his guests. Thank you Stefanos!

Thank you so much for your kindness and a very pleasant stay! Me and my sister will highly recommend Creta Sky to others and would definitely come back another time :-) Thank you Maria & Valandis for always been there when we needed help. Kind regards Monika & Sara

Nice, cozy, clean flat. The village is small but with a nice square, where you can go for a stroll or snack. Thank you Yiannis for your permission to my 9 years old son to practice on your guitar. He was thrilled!

Apart from the peaceful environment full of trees and flowers, the path in the river, the view to the mountain and the amazing beach of Agia Fotia, in the neighborhood you can find some traditional taverns with fresh food, fish and traditional cretan dishes. The nearest one is at 30 metres away by the river. There is also a mini market where you can get all the supplies that you need during your stay here. Even more, at the beach there is a small quiet beach bar where you can have your coffee, snacks and desserts.

Wonderful location. Dream Beach!

I was staying at Villa Paradise for a week with my girlfriend. Before going to Crete we were searching different hotel offers from the travel agencies. Everything was too crowded and let's say mainstream )) We wanted to see the real Crete nature, get to know the real people better and find some unusual places to go. And this is how we met Villa Paradise! The name says for itself. It is really the Paradise with unique style, awesome terrace, fruits everywhere, cats and really, really nice people - Mike and his family and friends (Irina, Manolis, Stella). So, we found the offer, and went to unknown Agia Fotia (you will not hear this name from the travel agencies) - and it was one of the best decisions ever! The nature in this area is so amazing - mountains, pine trees, views from the top, sea - it reminded us so much about our motherland lake Baikal. Local people are not so tired from the tourists because there are not so many of them, so, you really feel that you are in a special place. And the location of Agia Fotia is perfect: it is in the middle of Ierapetra and Makrygialos so we managed to go to both of them and went to wonderful Chrissi and Koufonissi islands. Also we went hiking to Milonas waterfall - you can do it right from the Villa - and you can see the house from the top on your way to Milonas gorge! There is also the family tavern River (you can find it on TripAdvisor) where Dimitros and his family made our staying special too by providing incredible dinners! We want to thank Mike for all his help (we were asking a lot of questions :)) his support and advise, Irina - Mike's mom who cared about us so much and treated us with delicious fruits, jams and baking! You made our staying very special - we hope to see you again!

Following the charming and picturesque coastal road from Agios Nikolaos (11 km) parallel to the Mediterranean Sea, passing inviting coves alternating with breathtaking views to small islands and delightful sandy beaches you reach the village of Kalo Chorio and its coastal quarter "Istron". Our house is nestled into an enchanting countryside that invites to extended walks or hiking through the landscape of the rising hills and mountains which are covered mostly with cedar trees. The house was built in the midst of a large property (4.500 m²), quietly located on the side of a hill.
The terraced garden, planted with colorful flowers, decorative shrubbery and different fruit trees (Mandarin-, Orange-, Apricot-, Lemon-, Olive- and Banana trees) extends harmoniously into the rocky backdrop of the hill, enhancing the majestic feeling of the house. On an area of 500 m² a swimming pool, including a wading pool for children, was added.
Magnificent views and the alluring countryside surprise you over and over and draw you under their spell. Guests on this property are spoiled by unique panoramic views to the countless coves of the Mirabello Bay all the way to Agios Nikolaos. Every apartment has a Safe, W-Lan and an air conditioning unit. Balconies and Patios, all covered by pergolas, are equipped with table and chairs.
The furnishings in the house are made of solid wood, bathrooms and kitchen are tiled and all the floors are laid out with white marble. Every apartment includes a TV-set. In the garden you also find a grill area next to a stone built, traditional Greek oven in which bread can be baked as well as other typically Greek food. The adjoining marble table and benches invite you to rest and to enjoy the just prepared food under the shading trees caressed by the fragrant air. Another delight is the splendid view from up here to the Mediterranean Sea that will stay in your memory for a long time. Children can play freely on this enclosed property and romp the garden to their hearts content (a sandbox is also available for their use).
Various large and small coves alternate with each other and offer either pebbled or sandy beaches. About 650 m from the house you reach the first beach - half of it is sandy, the other half with pebbles. Everyday you have the opportunity to venture out and discover something new. Because of its location a good starting point to visit Minoan palaces, remote monasteries, Byzantine churches, caves, grottos and many enchanting natural sights.
Villa Michalis 1 for 4-5 Pers.
This apartment includes 2 bedrooms (one with double bed, the other with 2 single beds) with nightstands, wardrobe and mirror. The living room is furnished with sofa (sleeping for the 5th person), table, chairs and a TV. From here you have access to the spacious balcony/patio from where you enjoy marvelous views to the Sea and the countryside. Integrated in the living room is the kitchen with upper- and lower cupboards, electric stove with plates, refrigerator, coffee maker and enough silverware and dishes. The Bathroom is equipped with sink, toilet and shower.

The previous reviews didn't lie - the pool at Villa Michalis is magnificent. What a pleasure to swim in and the views from the location are fabulous. The apartment was well equipped and clean linens appeared regularly. The olive oil and raki gift is a nice touch. Wifi is not great but it is in a small village on an island after all! Great family friendly spot with nice places to eat nearby.

The host (Christos' father) made the arrival easy, and stopped by the property everyday. So access to host was good. Generally we really enjoyed our family holiday at Villa Michalis. The photos and descriptions are fair. The property actually has 5 or 6 apartments, so they are a bit on the small-ish side, and the kitchen sparsely equipped, but then again, we were mostly there for sleeping and some meals on the balcony. The pool and pool-terrace was the centerpiece for the children! Great :-) Very nice beach, Voulisma, within 800 meters or so. We would not hesitate to stay in Villa Michalis again another time, and generally give the location our best recommendations. Kind regards, Tania and Jorn

Villa Michalis was the perfect place to spend holiday with big family! We were a group of 9 persons, ages 0-60, and everyone of us enjoyed the stay a lot! Apartments, neighborhood, Istron/Kalo Chorio village, pool and garden - everything was perfect. I can totally recommend this villa for anyone. Täydellinen paikka lomailla ihanalla Kreetan saarella.
